News reaches Arseblog this afternoon that we are close to agreeing a deal for Lebanese midfield enforcer Khalil Gibran.
He currently plays for Lebanse side al-‘Awāsif and is well known for
his crunching tackles and no nonsense approach to the game. His robust style has earned him the nickname 'The Madman' and last season alone he picked up nine yellow and three red cards.
A fee of around £1.5m has been reported and he is expected in London towards the end of the week for a medical.
His agent is quoted as saying 'I know the al-‘Awāsif fans are in the tempests saying this is the death of a prophet but it is merely the next logical step in Khalil's career. He has certainly got the vision to play for Arsenal'.
We'll wait and see what develops.

And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
Excellent news.
I've heard he has great stamina, however he is the wrong side of thirty.

That should still work. Let me know if it doesn't.

Yeah, heard we are suppose to sign Henrik Ibsen from the Norwegian side Peer Gynt too
How old is this guy? And any idea if he's any good?
What's your source by the way, or is it secret?
